Understanding incest in the philippines
Understanding Incest in the Philippines provides a comprehensive examination of the cultural, social, legal, and psychological dimensions surrounding incest within Filipino society. The text explores how family structures, patriarchal norms, and silence around sexuality contribute to the prevalence and concealment of incestuous abuse. Through case studies, interviews, and analysis of national data, the book reveals patterns of power imbalance, gendered vulnerability, and socio-economic factors that shape victims’ experiences and limit access to justice. It also critiques gaps in law enforcement, child protection mechanisms, and community responses, highlighting how stigma and moral expectations often hinder reporting. Ultimately, the work emphasizes the urgent need for survivor-centered approaches, stronger institutional safeguards, and culturally informed interventions to break cycles of violence and support healing and accountability.
